Montgomery Car Accident Lawyers

Attorneys for Victims of Motor Vehicle Collisions in Montgomery, IL

A car accident can change your life instantly, potentially leaving you with massive medical expenses, a ruined car, and no income during your recovery. Your injuries may be severe, impacting your quality of life. When someone else caused the collision that injured you, it literally adds insult to injury. You should not have to pay the costs of another person's mistake.

Although you may qualify for compensation, insurance companies do not like paying claims. Insurers often sabotage a claimant's efforts to receive a fair settlement. Most people lack the necessary legal knowledge, resources, experience, and skills to overcome these challenges, and they may accept far less compensation than they deserve. At Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney, we will not allow insurers to treat you unfairly. Instead, we will fiercely advocate for your best interests, working diligently to help you get the highest available settlement amount. Call now for your free consultation so we can discuss your case and explain how we can help.

Challenges With Montgomery Auto Accident Claims

If you do not have a personal injury attorney from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney by your side, you will have to face these challenges alone. A misstep can reduce or eliminate your settlement. We can help you address issues related to:

Fault

One or more parties may share the fault for causing your accident, and it is important to determine each party's fair share of the blame accurately. To do this, your collision will need to be investigated. Evidence uncovered during an investigation can prove why and how your accident happened and who was responsible. Common causes of motor vehicle accidents include:

• Driving under the influence
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Fatigued driving
• Disregarding traffic laws
• Running stop lights
• Following too closely

You may bear some fault for causing your collision, but you may still qualify for a settlement if you are less than 51 percent to blame in Illinois. Your degree of fault will reduce your settlement amount accordingly. For instance, if you are 25 percent at fault, the most compensation you can obtain is 75 percent of your total damages.

Ensuring that fault is assigned accurately is one of your attorney's most important tasks, as your degree of fault will determine your eligibility for compensation and how much you might receive.

Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies do not care about your best interests; they only care about protecting their profits. Insurers may use various tactics designed to minimize your payout, such as:

• Offering you an unreasonably low settlement amount, implying it is all you deserve
• Manipulating your share of fault
• Twisting your words, then using them against you
• Intimidating you
• Claiming that your crash did not cause your injuries or that they are not as severe as you claim

Questioning your integrity while trying to keep the money you deserve for themselves is despicable behavior, and your lawyer from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney will not stand for it. We will not let greedy insurance companies treat you unfairly or disrespectfully.

Settlement Amount

An average settlement amount is a myth. There is no way to determine how much your settlement should be without a close review of the factors involved in your case. If you are unaware of the damages you are entitled to, you will probably not realize that you could receive significantly more than the insurer's offer. Once you accept a settlement offer, you cannot get more compensation.

Frequent injuries from car accidents include broken bones, bruises, airbag and seatbelt injuries, whiplash, organ damage, facial and head injuries, spinal cord and brain injuries, and concussions. When your injuries are severe, your medical bills will probably be high, and you likely need a prolonged recovery period during which you will be unable to work full-time. Your quality of life may be affected by a permanent disability, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

You are likely eligible to receive both economic and non-economic damages for the losses you have suffered resulting from a car crash. Your legal team from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney will assess your eligible damages to ensure that you will be able to get the highest possible amount.

Other Challenges

Aside from insurance company issues, there are other potential complications you could face, such as:

• Government agency involvement
• Hit-and-run crashes
• Underinsured and uninsured motorists
• Multiple-vehicle collisions

When an attorney from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney is by your side, you do not have to face these complications alone.
